Well, computing is definitely an interdisciplinary science. The higher-up things like computational complexity theory, study of grammar and various other mathematical underpinnings of computation, quantum computing, swarm intelligence (my personal favorite), and research into various recognition algorithms (speech, image, etc) is all science.
Though, I guess most programmers aren't "scientists" in the purest sense--more like engineers. There are scientific underpinnings but the people are not usually doing academic research.
Although, I'm guessing you probably already agree with all of the above.
my job is actually not that interesting, lol. I mostly just make web applications that access databases, according to whatever business logic the company that hires us wants to use.
Mostly involves: building menus with a bunch of links to different places, forms with a lot of different types of fields, lists, and pulling from a database which stores what should be in that menu, form, list, according to who should be able to access that menu, form or list. Submit form: update or insert all necessary fields into database... read form: select all necessary fields from database. And then there's a bunch of search screens where you can search records from various database tables.
